This looks very nice and seems like a great idea, however I was surprised to see "TODO: Unit tests" in the README, so I peeked around in the source files, and effectively it seems there are no unit tests at all in the repo.

I'm not a TDD test-first evangelist, but 3+ months worth of coding with no test?

I agree with what you say but sometimes when you're bootstrapping an idea, TDD/BDD can get on your way, slowing down things. I think the author created some prototype, released it and now is checking if it gets the community support. I was also checking the source code and the front end is done using AngularJS and the project's structure is not that nice. Again, I think this is because of the prototyping stuff.

Yes your right. I sat down and wrote the first pass of the UI in a couple hours and it was the first time I used AngularJS.

If you are AngularJS wiz and want to contribute feel free to open pull requests and clean up after me ;) DockerUI is licensed under MIT so code away.

Yes, you are right.

No reason to be downvoted - I think some may be missing that you're correcting yourself.

I'm not an AngularJS wizard but I totally <3 Angular and also I'm totally in for pushing this project forward. Why don't you start by creating an issue on Github for discussing what's the best solution for reorganising the code? Keeping track of a project roadmap on HN threads is kinda complicated.
